SIr Hugh, persuade me not: I will make a Star-Chamber matter of it, if he were twenty Sir Iohn Falstoffe, he shall not abuse Robert Shadow Esquire. In the County of Gloucester, justice of Peace and Coram. I (cousin Slender) and Cust-alorum. I, and Rotulorum too; and a Gentleman borne (Master Parson) who writes himself Armigero, in any Bill, Warrant, Quittance, or Obligation, Armigero. I that I do, and have done any time these three hundred years. All his successors (gone before him) hath done't: and all his Ancestors (that come after him) may: they may give the dozen white Luce's in their coat. It is an old coat. The dozen white Lowses do become an old Coat well: it agrees well passant: It is a familiar beast to man, and signifies Loue. The Luse is the fresh-fish, the saltfish is an old coat. I may quarter (Coz). You may, by marrying. It is marring indeed, if he quarter it. Not a whit. Yes per-lady: if he has a quarter of your coat, there is but three Shirts for yourself, in my simple conjectures; but that is all one: if Sir Iohn Falstaff have committed disparagements unto you▪ I am of the Church and will be glad to do my benevolence, to make atonements and compromises between you. The council shall hear it, it is a Riot. It is not meet the council hear a Riot: there is no fear of Got in a Riot: The council (look you) shall desire to hear the fear of God, and not to hear a Riot: take your viza-ments in that. Ha'; o'my life, if I were young again, the sword should end it. It is better that friends is the sword, and end it: and there is also another device in my brain, which peradventure brings good discretions with it. There is Anne Page, which is daughter to Master Thomas Page, which is pretty virginity. Mistress Anne. Page? She has brown hair, and speaks small like a woman. It is that ferry person for all the world, as just as you will desire, and seven hundred pounds of monies, and Gold, & silver, is her Grandsire upon his deaths-bed (Got deliver to a joyful resurrections) give, when she is able to overtake seventeen years old. It were a good motion, if we leave our pribbles and prabbles, and desire a marriage between Master▪ Abraham, and Mistress Anne Page. Did her Grand, sire leave her seven hundred pound▪ I, and her father is make her a better penny. I know the young Gentlewoman, she has good gifts. Seven hundred pounds, & possibilities, is good gifts. Well, let us see honest Master Page is Falstaff there▪ Shall I tell you a lie? I do despise a liar, as I do despise one that is false, or as I despise one that is not true: the Knight Sir John is there, and I beseech you be ruled by your well-willers: I will peat the door for Master Page. What hoa? Got-plesse your house here.
